Submitted by Pam Hegner on
The first time I visited Simsbury, I was enamored with the beauty and history of this charming New England town. Located 14.5 miles west of Hartford in the Farmington Valley, it is close to the state's capitol and the airport, but feels worlds away. The rural and rustic charm has just enough of a cosmopolitan edge to make it a very desirable place to live and visit.
Just ask Money Magazine, who has included Simsbury on their list of "Best Places to Live" in America several times. Outdoor enthusiasts flock here, as it was given the honor of the first "Bike Friendly Town" in Connecticut by the American League of Cyclists. The nearly 24,000 residents have a lot to be proud of with great schools, history, accessibility and scenic terrain. The town offers numerous activities for children, and here are some suggestions.
